Agenda
1. Introduction of Rhetorical Devices
a. Writers use rhetorical devices to emphasize, explain and
unify their ideas, and often to persuade.
i. Repetition and parallelism are rhetorical devices in
which repeated words and patterns provide rhythm,
enhance ideas, and organize complex passages.
ii. Analogies are another rhetorical device used to
introduce unfamiliar subjects by comparing them to
ones their audiences already know and accept.
1. Example “It’s like riding a bike.”
b. Define Academic Vocabulary – Repetition, Parallelism and
Analogy on handout.
2. Teaching Repetition and Parallelism
a. Review Steps 1 and 2 from “Rhetorical Devices” handout

So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

ii. Direction 2: Circle evidence of Parallelism.
iii. Answer the questions from “Here’s How” Steps 1 and 2

repetition and parallelism.
3. Teaching Analogy
a. Review Step 3 from “Rhetorical Devices” handout
i. Example
Gossip became like a poisonous haze that spread over
the village. It obscured the truth about some residents,
impeded the flow of life for others, soured everyone’s
mood, and caused friendships to wither and die.
b. Partners Practice Analysis
i. Question 1: What two things are compared in the
analogy?
ii. Question 2: In that ways are these subjects alike?
iii. Question 3: In what ways are these subjects different?
iv. Is the analogy’s purpose explanation or persuasion?
v. How effective is this analogy? Does it paint a clear
picture?
